Description

If your skin feels rough, looks slightly bumpy across the cheeks or upper arms, or clogs easily, this is the cleanser to start with. It contains salicylic acid, which works inside the pore rather than just on the surface, so it clears the congestion that a normal face wash leaves behind.

Along with the salicylic acid there is hyaluronic acid and CeraVes three essential ceramides. That combination is the reason this exfoliating cleanser does not leave your face tight and squeaky the way most acid washes do. It removes the buildup and keeps the skin barrier intact.

In a humid Kenyan climate, oil and sweat mix with sunscreen and dust and sit in the pores all day. Over a few weeks that shows up as texture, blackheads and dullness. Used in the evening, this cleanser handles that reliably.

Start with three or four nights a week and build up. If you are also using a retinol or a strong exfoliating toner, alternate them rather than layering both on the same night. And use sunscreen every morning, because exfoliated skin burns and pigments faster under equatorial sun.

Fragrance free, non-comedogenic and developed with dermatologists. Genuine CeraVe, delivered anywhere in Kenya.
